Have you been thinking about getting a computer program to organize your genealogical data? RootsMagic has just announced a bundled deal that is a good bargain. If you have been wondering what such software is like, you can download a basic version of it free from the RootsMagic.com site and give it a test drive. If you decide you want to use a different program later, you can export all of the data you put into RootsMagic and import it into another program thereby saving your work. RootsMagic's free version was recently ranked by Dick Eastman with Legacy as the best two free genealogy programs for PCs (see my blog post for October 6th). What is offered below is the full featured program. In my opinion the software is so easy to use that you don't really need to have the book. However, if you are a manual reader, here is a chance to get the full program AND the book for less than the program itself usually costs.

Here is what Bruce Busbee, President of RootsMagic has to say about his offer:

"With the holidays coming up, we often get requests from our users about buying copies of RootsMagic to give as gifts to their family or friends. In what has become an annual tradition, RootsMagic owners can buy discounted copies of our software to give as gifts.

Our Best Special Holiday Offer Ever!
During this special holiday sale, you can order gift copies of RootsMagic 4 PLUS the book "Getting the Most Out of RootsMagic" for $20 (plus shipping). That's right, both the full program (on CD) and the book for just $20.

There is no limit on the number of discounted gift copies you can buy during this limited time offer which will expire December 22, 2010. You will receive the full program for each copy you order.
